Only at peak times, but the situation is corrected quickly and 99% of the times there is plenty of space in the blocks.

Not an issue. For now

nowadays, it is very usual to have full blocks, it is not only in the rush hours ! I was thinking like you but It is a real issue, because even when you pay the proper fees you may wait two hours or more to get confirmed

Even with all the backlog, I can always get my transaction confirmed really fast. I really have no problem.

Yeah. This backlog hasn't really had any impact on me. My transactions go through like normal.

i been waiting for a transaction to confirm for over 24 hours.. it says there is right around 4000 unconfirmed transactions.

it doesnt seem to be catching up.

That is because either: 1) You don't know how to use Bitcoin properly (fee wise); 2) You're doing this on purpose (for whatever reason; there have been people wanting to cause panic); 3) You're a cheap person (no offense).

If you include the recommended fee it is highly likely that your transaction will confirm within the next block. I have never had this problem before as I include the maximum that the Core wallet allows on default settings (or more).

i used blockchain.info and sent the bitcoin with the "quick send" option..

no real needing to use bitcoin "properly" i have blockchain.info set to "Normal - Follow the fee policy suggested by the mainline bitcoin client. Recommended" so its not that im cheap?

but its still not confirmed

ive even tried to spend the output change with a higher fee as suggest by a google search..

if i import the wallet into another software can i double spend it back to the network?

That is actually not so easy (as most major nodes will detect and reject any such attempt).

Basically you will have to wait (up to at least 24 hours) for your tx to be dropped from the mempool (assuming it doesn't get confirmed before then) in order to "retry" spending your outputs with a different tx.
